Rocket School

Tablets have arrived in the classroom and they’re here to stay.
There’s been huge growth in the number and quality of educational apps for both Android and iOS (*). It seems the world's abuzz with talk of personalised education (*). It seems possible. It seems almost everyone's waiting for tablets to magically replace textbooks everywhere. Apple’s developed a compelling marketing deck which sums up the sentiment (*www.apple.com/education).
Soma (*Aldous Huxley, 1931).
It’s argued European public education’s got a fair way to go. School dropouts run at around 13% (*). Unemployment's unsustainably high (*). Despite constant evolution of, improvement in, teaching-learning strategies (*).
Look around you and ask yourself how you feel about the state of your country today (*).
Most agree public education’s a big player (*). For the vast majority, it's the same bricks and mortar, to switch metaphors. Students are still failing. Teachers are still overloaded, burnt-out or both. The Wall's an old movie now (*1982).
A billion tablets’ll only make it better for two, maybe three, school-terms (*Rocket School).
The thought of replacing textbooks with tablets is like distributing textbooks in the dark ages, to switch metaphors once again.
No one can question the printing press was a game-changer for education. Mobile technology's the next. It's a game-changer on the ground (*RocketSchool). It changes all the parameters.
How's this technology so different? Ever seen someone smashing their tablet or smartphone in frustration?
Computers belong to the information age (*). Mobile technology comes from the age of connectivity (*). Computers are about information (*). Connectivity's about connecting people and information in different ways (*).
Education’s about connecting people with information in a way that produces knowledge (*).
Public education's got a clean slate and a running start. We can rebuild it. We have the technology (*The Six Million Dollar Man, 1976).
Many are saying, 'It's the pedagogy, stupid.' They're only half-way there.
